Swedish government falsely claims that Swedish meatballs are actually Turkish

“For hundreds of years the Swedish people have gobbled down balls of seasoned and creamed meat but only now, just now, as Arabic Muslim culture takes over their country – poof! – like magic, we discover that Swedish meatballs are actually Turkish!”

What a coincidence indeed!

Sweden’s cultural and societal suicide continues apace, encompassing matters large and small. But it really isn’t anything new. As I show in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS (click here to preorder), Charles XII went to Constantinople to try to garner support for a joint Swedish/Ottoman venture against the Russians. The idea of expanding the influence and power of the forces of the jihad against Europe didn’t seem to trouble him, any more than it does his contemporary successors.

What must it feel to really loathe yourself? To hate yourself down to the very marrow in your bones? What’s it like to be Sweden?

That’s what some on Twitter are asking after a controversial Tweet from Sweden’s official Twitter account which proclaimed that Swedish meatballs, the kind made world famous by the Muppets chef as well as IKEA, are not actually Swedish but are…are you ready for it? Turkish!

Of course! For hundreds of years the Swedish people have gobbled down balls of seasoned and creamed meat but only now, just now, as Arabic Muslim culture takes over their country – poof! – like magic, we discover that Swedish meatballs are actually Turkish!

Makes total sense! How strikingly convenient!

“All your culture are belong to us.” chants the Muslim version of Zero Wing

But would you believe me if I told you that the official Sweden account got caught….lying?

Oh my, yes, lying through their teeth – or typing fingers, as it were. The viral Tweet was quickly debunked by math historian Richard Tellström at Stockholm University, who was interviewed by Svenska Dagbladet.

“Their data is incorrect. There is no evidence that this was the case.” he said.

But as the old saying goes, a lie can get halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its boots. Before the debunkers could get busy debunking Fox News had already published the Turkish legend as a fact even though the Swedish account had absolutely NO EVIDENCE for their claim, whatsoever!

Oliver Grassman, editor of social media on Sweden.se, says that there was no scientific source for the statement and believes that it was written based on a “commonly accepted truth”.

“If it’s a factual error, it’s not good because we wrote, “Let’s stick to the facts.” he said. “What we wanted to convey is that cultures inspire each other and the concept that something is healthy often changes through the years. Especially with food. We just wanted to create engaging content for our overseas target groups.”

But Twitter wasn’t having any of this nonsense and food historians as well as those worried about Sweden’s bizarre desire to commit cultural suicide, chimed in.

NickiM wanted to see receipts. Where’s the proof of their claim?

Andrea points out that meatballs date back to Roman times.

Thomas can’t believe that the Swedish government thinks Turkey was actually the first civilization to roll meat into a ball!

Man Behind wants to know…Sweden, buddy, you OK? You can’t keep doing this to yourself, man.

Some pointed out that Turkey is an invading force, a recent one, and that “Turkey” as we know it, didn’t exist at the time period Sweden’s government is claiming!…

Everyone should have a Croissant with breakfast it is a good reminder and a cause for celebration.

To celebrate the end of the siege, the defeat of the Turks and the part they had played in lifting it, several bakers in Vienna made a pastry in the shape of the crescents they had seen on the battle standards of the enemy.

Does the end product of decades of multiculturalism pass so quickly through White Swedish Guilt to end with complete capitulation of Muslim Supremacy? Seems like it. The sheep will be made a feast by the more virile invaders..

Meatballs have been traced back to the Romans and found all over Europe…..

That Karl XII was in Ottoman Empire is true…and might have tried Turkish meatballs is very true…..

BUT it would be like saying that the Danish invented the Danish……🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐 when in Danish it is called Bread from Vienna…..It was a Danish baker that brought them to the US…..and therefore it got the name Danish in English…..😐😐😐😐😐

To complete the story about “Danish pastry” – In Vienna this pastry is named “Kopenhagen Brot”; probably because the austrian bakers invented the bread in Copenhagen on a visit to that fair city sometime in the eighteenth century.

By the way. When heroin addicts stops using drugs in a sudden and immediate fashion the danes calls it “A cold turk”.

Same with “Moroccan Leather”. Moroccan leather was made in Kano(circa 1800s), Nigeria then shipped to Europe via Morocco. Instead of knowing that product as Kano leather of Hausa leather, it became know as Moroccan leather.

Swedish meatball are Swedish, of course. Had they been a Turkish traditional dish they still have a Christian history as Turkey was Christian before the Muslim armies conquered the Bysantine empiure and Constantinople. Moreover, Also the Danes, who were ever ruled by the Swedish king Charles XII, have an old tradional Danish dish called “frikadeller”, which is exacly the same as the Swedish “meatballs”, The s.c. Turkish meatballs – if there are any – are of course made with equal parts of fake and pure lie. It’s closer tthe truth that king Charles XII when he visited the Turkish Sultan how to cook Swedish meatballs.

As a matter of fact – Denmark was never ruled by any swedish king – excepting the eastern province of Scania, which was given to Sweden by France for military services rendered. On the contrary; Sweden was ruled by several Danish king and Swedes hate foreign rule
Thats why it is terrible weird to witness, that the Swedish elite is giving their country away to unarmed muslim invaders – out of infinite benevolence anf stupidity.

True jayell, a few years ago on St George’s Day a friend said to me that St George was Turkish. I burst out loud and said that St George was around 300 years before islam was invented and that St George was a Christian saint. When St George was alive he lived in Anotalia which was Byzantium Greek and Roman. Turkey has only been in existance since 1922. Meatballs existed in Cyprus since classical times and it is called kefdedes, the Turks stole the name and called it kofte and made it their own. Typical Turkish mentality that they were a superior culture to that of the Europeans

And more and more… Santa Klaus the catholic saint so popular towards the Germans kids was Turk too! He was bishop of Smyrna! Do you need more to convince your self that Turkey has always be a member of Europe ? If you are not, a lot of political high personality are !; Merkel, Macron. May, Trudeau without forget Soros and the Bildeberg group!
In fact all Europe was muslim and did not know it! Just like Abraham did not! All those who say otherwise are inspired by Satan!

The original inhabitants of Scandinavia were Arab Muslims, the blondes with blue eyes are foreign invaders. It seems crazy to you? Well this is basically the speech of the Magrebies who have come to Spain. They hardly know about history, they know absolutely nothing about the Celts, Iberians, Basques, Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths … these are our ancestors. The Muslim Arabs were the spearhead of the Islamic invasion, the feudal elite that dominated the Maghrebi Berbers who settled in the peninsula. His descendants were expelled to North Africa. The Magrebies say that the peninsula was stolen from the Muslims by people coming from the other side of the Pyrenees (the Franks). It is true that there were some Franks who lived in the peninsula but the repopulation of the peninsula was made from north to south with a Celtic, Basque, Iberian and Visigothic population. The Islamic fascist scum has not changed since the time of Muhammad, they are a plague.

Muslims invented coffee but no matter how much coffee the Swedes drink they won’t wake up.
If Sweden falls to Islam that means that Sweden will be the highest manufacturing capacity in the Muslim world, with a manufacturing capacity [leaving out oil] greater than the whole Arab world.

No, Muslims did not invent coffee. Coffee was discovered in Ethiopia–then called Abyssinia by a goatherd named Kaldi–not a Muslim–who observed his goats prancing around after eating coffee berries. A monk passing by–it is claimed–saw the same thing then decided to boil and brew some coffee berries. And Voila!–the coffee beverage was discovered. True? Well, that’s what Ethiopians today say.

If Sweden mutilates into an Islamic state that is a crime as grave as the Holocaust. Many thousands have already been assaulted, raped and murdered in this jihad. Do you really think jihad rape gangs are limited to the UK? The Swedish quislings who facilitated Islamic invasion would join Hitler as the most vile people in history.

Niemoller, references to the Holocaust are fraught with peril and extremely offensive to many especially when used to describe events which are orders of magnitude significantly less grave. A government committing cultural suicide does not rise to the same level of horror, gravity and depravity as a government committing the systematic genocidal murder of MILLIONS of men, women, and children, and the Jews of Germany and Europe did not VOLUNTARILY commit cultural and civilizational suicide like the Swedes are doing to themselves today. The Jews of Germany and Europe were SYSTEMATICALLY MURDERED by their own governments.

So a group of Swedish government officials systematically liquidating an historic nation of 8 million and turning it into a failed state with a destiny of Syria today is not grave to you? How about the EU quislings doing the same to a continent of 600 million? I compared it to the Holocaust precisely because of the gravity of the Holocaust.

These Swedish/EU quislings and their jihadist army will end up murdering far more, but to you, gravity revolves around what you assume they were thinking at the time they were approving the invasion and committing the assaults, rapes and murders. You know, like if it was a multicultural rape for the pleasure of Allah, that mitigates the genocide. You’re a mind reader apparently.

Swedish police must revolt against their autogenocidal leadership. Stop being drones of self-destruction and traitors who roll the carpet out for islam. Islam is a death sentence even for people already trapped in it. Only the imams and jihad rapists “profit” from Islam; most Muslims are dead-eyed zombies resigned to unhappiness under Islamic ideology. The evidence is clear, observe them in fully Islamic countries, not the Islamic parasites who live half in the west and half in Islam. That situation is only temporary.

You might have a laugh about , it is too stupid for words. Anything good in our Western countries came from the “Muslims”. These Muslims were very intelligent people, only all their intelligent findings they should have applied in their own countries, and now they want to show us what we missed all the times.
I am so happy today, nice weather, sun shining, lunchtime may be I am going to look for meatballs from a different country today and taste the diversity.

Really important where meatballs come from. Don’t you have other world problems to deal with?Amazing that the Swedes are still responding.!

A quick check on Wiki indicates that Charles XII never married, never had mistresses, and never fathered any children. There was some speculation about his sexual orientation. Perhaps he felt quite at home in exile in the Ottoman Empire.

I was disappointed in the article. It didn’t actually provide any counter evidence. I did a search online for the debunking of this story and had difficulty finding any. It is hard to justify getting outraged based on the evidence in this article…

Golly gosh!!! Are those Turks ever inventive. What other earth-shattering inventions have they made? How about wrapping paper? Boston Baked Beans? What a culture!!! So far ahead of the rest of the world!!! It’s all Istab-bullsh**t. I heard (don’t tell anyone) that they even invented the Turkish language,

French visited Russia, took the large and intelligent bird hunting water adaptable puddle dog to France, gave it a haircut which was tolerable in the warmer French climate, and the Russian hunting dog that does not shed became known as the French Poodle. Miniaturization then came step by step.

And turkish meatballs are ground up armenians! Hahaha #dhimmitoo. but seriously, turkish coffee is coffee and it comes from ethiopia. Marco polo brought back noodles to europe and made them from wheat and not rice. Anything in turkey made with tomatoes comes from the new
world….

Muhammad rode on a magical flying horse to Jerusalem to according to ‘the dream sequence’ (expropriate) an illegitimate non-existent furthest mosque claim and a false claim of partnership with AbrahAM after negotiating a prayer treaty in partnership with Allah of only 5 prays a day versus the Allah preferred 50.

Muhammad being fickle insisted however that all Muslims turn their backs toJerusalem and pray to the three jinn pagan black stone in Mecca.

Somehow upon death Muhammad managed to finagle his way up the Jerusalem paradise pipeline and all was forgiven with Allah giving praise, hugs and kisses.

I am glad that the Swedes took one of our dishes and made it their own, good for them! regardless though what does this have to do with Mr Spencer‘s and his motley crew’s anti muslim,anti Turkish rhetoric, struggle? Judging from the racist slurs and worse above in the comments section, racism is what excites these folks. more meat on the bone thrown into the feeding frenzy of the ‚Jihad Watch‘ band of loyal followers & advocates! Even common shared history such as cuisine and similar cross cultural aspects which should be considered as things to be cherished is thrown under the bus by the Spencer lot. pathetic really! Shame on you all!

Falsafa Why do Muslims always say ‘Shame on You?’ (sic). Every time a critical comment is made against islam some muslim always responds by saying ‘Shame on You? or ‘You people are so ignorant about islam and Christianity. Just like rebellious know all teenagers

So the Turks invented meatballs. Throw them a bone. They are delicious! You can’t say the Muzzies never contributed anything good to the world. In fact, my Swiss grandfather made Swedish meatballs, (my grandmother, Swedish.) So good.

Yes–I heard this ludicrous bit of revisionist history the other day. It is not the worst of this sort of thing–claiming that Shari’ah was the basis for civilized Western law, for instance, is worse–but it still is part of attempts to destroy Western civ.

…. and the treasured tulip, symbol of Holland, has it’s origin in Turkey as well. There are so many things that originated in Turkey. The Scythians, who lived in modern-day Turkey, invented the chariot and coinage. The list is very long and I don’t have time to educate you, rednecks!

Really, there are so many errors in the above it is difficult to know where to start.

The Scythians had nothing to do with Islam–they much predated it. And the Scythians largely lived north of the Black Sea, which is to the north of Anatolia.

And while they were know for their fine chariots, the oldest chariot yet found was at a burial site in the Kuban region of Russia in the Steppes near the Volga Delta, not in Anatolia. And the Scythians lived much to the west of this site.

One of the few things that is accurate in the above is that coinage likely developed in Lydia, in Anatolia. But this was in the 7th century BC, centuries before it was invaded by the Turks–and this had nothing to do with the Scythians, either.

And the implication is that these meatballs came from what is today Turkey–but even if one took this story at face value–very questionable–this is not what the story claims. It says that the recipe came to Sweden via Moldova, which was at the time under the heel of the Ottoman Empire. Moldova was never part of Anatolia.

Can “Estee Tabernac” tell us again how she doesn’t have time to educate the “rednecks” of Jihad Watch? It seems she does not have time to educate herself, either…

The Turkish people do not have it’s origin in Turkey.
The Turkish people, just like the present day’s walking muslim migrants in Europe, also walked or came on horseback to “the Eastern Roman Empire” in Asia Minor from the corners of Central Asia (Turkmenistan) around the year 1000 a.d..
Slowly these Turkish warriors strangled the christian empire of Konstantinople by sheer numbers; murdering and plundering as were their habit. After 500 years they had completely subjugated the civilized eastern Roman empire, destroying the finest culture in the world at that period.
Nowadays the muslim world in general are bent on repeating the earlier Turkish success on a grander scale.
This time the whole European continent is the target of an enormous demographic attack from the east, just like in eastern Roman days a 1000 years ago.
It is very ironic that Europe is worse off in defending itself from a muslim conquest than the ancient “Eastern Roman Empire”, which survived for around 1000 years. This time the muslim masses even arrive unarmed!

Is there nothing sacred to the liar Muslims of the world? Turkish meatballs? Why would you bother? But as for whatever might be good about Islam (and I have found nothing so far), If you notice, no one is trying to steal credit for Muhammad’s “greatness”.
